Bwindi, Uganda - Large, plain montane cisticola. The most outstanding aspects of the plumage are a reddish cap and two bands across the tip of the tail, one pale and one black. Found in open montane habitats with thick herbaceous undergrowth, including forest edge, grassland, and heath. Almost always in pairs or small groups. The distinctive song is given in chorus: a frantic up-and-down series of scratchy notes. As with other cisticolas, habitat and vocalizations are important to identification. Fairly similar to Singing Cisticola, but lacks a rufous panel in the wings.

While it may not look it, this build was heavily inspired by Carter's brilliant Gorgon Mecha that was posted a couple weeks back.
Also inspired by the Chubb suits from the MFZ universe.
I'm not entirely happy with how this came out, as I got stuck in the building process for days on end. I didn't want to put any bricks on for fear of making it worse than it already was, but I sat down this afternoon and pounded out a back thruster, and streamlined the torso till I was happy with it!
A member of the carp family and looks very similar to the dace, but is larger and has redder fins.
I love to watch their behaviour throughout the year ... in Spring they pair up and produce their first eggs ... these hatch out and swim with the family throughout the summer, then in early autumn, the parent fish spawn again, when the whole family may be seen swimming in the river Gipping ... quite a sight!

Wolverhampton Corporation Guy Arab IV No3 with Guy Arab V 104 (7104UK) behind. The buses are in Chubb Street, a former trolleybus terminal point until 1963. Both buses are working former trolleybus routes, although the 9 to Jeffcock Road originally terminated around the corner in Railway Street, when it was a trolleybus service.
New to the Corporation in 1957, SUK3 was withdrawn in 1972 and donated to 'The Young Volunteers', who converted into the Town's first playbus in the winter of 1972/1973. After a long drawn out process of negotiation (in which I was heavily involved), the bus was finally acquired by BaMMOT in 1981. Today it is on display at the Museum, but is only cosmetically restored.
104 was not so fortunate, being withdrawn in April 1974 and sold for scrap in January 1975.

These were to be the last months of Wolverhampton Corporation as a bus operator, before relinquishing control of the Transport Department and its staff over to the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive in the October of 1969. It was Barbara Castle the then Transport Minister in Harold Wilson's Government who brought about the creation of the PTE's. The 1968 Act created five PTEs/PTAs:
West Midlands on 1st October 1969.
SELNEC (South East Lancashire North East Cheshire) on 1st November 1969.
Merseyside on 1 December 1969.
Tyneside on 1 January 1970.
Greater Glasgow on 1 June 1973.
Appointed in 1965, Castle inherited a transport system that was in chaos, but she responded with an impressive combination determination, clarity of analysis, a flair for public relations, along with clever and pragmatic application of principles. The end result was the 1968 Transport Act. The Act was a mammoth piece of legislation that among other things, created urban transport authorities for the conurbations (Passenger Transport Executives and Authorities), stabalised the railways, saved the canals, and pushed on with road safety improvements.
Under the Act, Wolverhampton became part of the first newly created Passenger Transport Executive, along with Walsall, West Bromwich and Birmingham, the rest as they say is history.

The fearful look on the puppy's face was caught by accident. Chubb's mammoth size didn't faze Garvi's after a while....within no time he was jumping around playing with Chbbs.
